About the author

TradingPsychologyGyan is written and maintained by Bulan Sarkar, who built this resource to fill a specific gap: rigorous, India-aware teaching on the psychology of trading — from cognitive biases and emotional self-management to discipline, decision-making and repeatable routines — rather than another site selling entries or promising a winning mindset.

Editorial approach

Every explainer is drafted from first principles, checked against established behavioural-finance, decision-science and habit-and-performance research, and grounded in realistic Indian-market examples. Where something is a heuristic, a research finding or a self-management technique rather than a guarantee, it is labelled as such — and nothing here is presented as psychological or medical advice. Corrections are welcome — see Contact.
